BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) - Champions League outsiders Basel completed a remarkable double over Chelsea on Tuesday, winning 1-0 with a late Mohamed Salah goal although the stunned visitors still qualified for the last 16. Chelsea, beaten 2-1 at home by the Swiss club in September when Salah was also on target, reached the knockout stage with a game to spare after Schalke 04 drew 0-0 at Steaua Bucharest but there was nothing else for coach Jose...

BASEL, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Chelsea forward Samuel Eto'o would need scans on a leg injury after he was carried off during the first half of Chelsea's 1-0 defeat against Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Cameroon forward appeared to pull a muscle as he chased the ball and immediately signalled for treatment. He was replaced by Fernando Torres. Manager Jose Mourinho said the club would have to wait two days for a scan before determining the extent of the 32-year-old's injury.

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - U.S. regulators should consider streamlining rules now being adopted that force big banks to hold more capital, a top Federal Reserve official said on Monday. Eric Rosengren, president of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, in remarks prepared for delivery at a conference, suggested the Fed and other Wall Street regulators focus on the narrower definition of capital under the global Basel III framework. He did not comment on monetary policy or the U.S. economy.

BASEL, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Giovanni Sio struck in injury time to salvage a point for Basel in a 1-1 draw at home to Steaua Bucharest in Champions League Group E on Wednesday. Italian Federico Piovaccari, who has spent most of his career playing for Italian lower league clubs and is on loan from Sampdoria, gave Steaua the lead in the 17th minute, when Lukasz Szukala sent a long pass over the Basel defence and Piovaccari broke clear to fire the ball into the roof of the net. Steaua went close to a second when a Florin Gardos close-range shot was superbly saved by Yann Sommer just before the break.

BASEL (Reuters) - Roger Federer's difficult season continued on Sunday when he lost to Juan Martin del Potro in the final of the Basel Open for the second year running. The Swiss played some of his best tennis this year but it was not enough to avoid a 7-6 (3) 2-6 6-4 defeat against the powerful Argentine and his 220-kph serve. After Del Potro took the first set, the momentum seemed to swing Federer's way when he raced through the second after breaking serve in the second game.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. regulators unveiled a plan on Thursday for banks to hold enough assets they can easily sell to survive a credit crunch, calling on U.S. banks to meet new liquidity standards two years before most foreign banks must comply. The proposal, which tells banks to hold enough liquid assets to meet their cash needs for 30 days, is a key plank of the Basel III capital rules agreed globally to make banks safer after the 2007-09 credit crisis. Federal Reserve officials voted unanimously to propose U.S. rules with a shorter transition timeline than Basel calls for, and a stricter standard for how banks calculate their liquid asset needs.
